Hey Gang,

As most of you know, I’m 14 hours ahead of you. No, I haven’t learned to time travel! Michele and I are in Australia for a conference at Hillsong. I thought for my blog this week I would share some sights and insights we get while were here. (Still rocking from all God did on the 4th at FPC!)  Sunday we all went to church at Hillsong two days before the conference was to start.  It is 3:30 in the morning here and I can’t sleep.  My mind is reeling and rocking at 1000 MPH.  I was blown away at church  Sunday!

We went to the 9:00 service and was shocked as people got there 45 minutes early to get a good seat up front.  AMAZING!  The atmosphere was electric and filled with the Holy Spirit and anticipation of what God would do and how He would show up. This, in a land with very few churches. It is a powerful move of God. God was there;  the service was strong and many were saved.

The Sunday night service was even better.  People got there an hour early to ensure a good seat as the overflow would also be filled.  The church was packed with young adults and youth.  As the worship started they packed the front of the stage, ten rows deep to praise the living Lord. WOW!  (You should have seen Justin in midst of the worship!)  Again strong and many saved.  The Pastor, Brian Huston, was to share the amount of the offering the week before. It was an end of year “Heart for the House” offering. The place was electric as the congregation awaited the amount. Over $6,000,000. This was a special offering over and above for building and more space. That is God, when young adults are fired up about giving sacrificially.

Yep, I’m impressed and hungry for more of God.  Tune in all week as I share what God is doing “Down Under, Mate.”

Love ya – allow God to tamper with your dream world and vision!

Pastor
